Research direction
Start by tracing the MIEngine path that shows the "Superuser access is required to attach to a process" dialog for Linux remote debugging. Determine how the engine recognizes an already-authorized target, then define completion as allowing that attach without prompting while preserving the warning for cases that still require elevated access.

Description
I have recently implemented a runtime fix for GDB on linux remote machines, in order for users to be able to attach to process. Basically my application calls prctl directly to enable process tracing so that users can attach to it with GDB without needing root privileges. I now wish to use VS Code to debug with GDB, but I am hit with a dialog from the MIEngine: "Superuser access is required to attach to a process. Attaching as superuser can potentially harm your computer. Do you want to continue? [y/N]", which basically blocks my use case. Is there a way to bypass this? I am up for implementing it if needed, just need some pointers.
